Sensitivity notes

Why fructans food checker matters

Fructans are chains of fructose molecules found in wheat, onions, garlic, and many other foods. They're a type of FODMAP that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals because they're not well absorbed in the small intestine.

  • Garlic-infused oil is low-FODMAP since fructans don't dissolve in oil
  • Green parts of leeks and scallions are lower in fructans
  • Sourdough bread may be better tolerated than regular wheat bread
  • Spelt and ancient grains still contain fructans despite marketing claims
  • Portion size matters - small amounts may be tolerable

What to know about raspberry

Raspberries look innocent but they stack three separate triggers: they are high in salicylates, very high in oxalates and moderate in FODMAPs, which is why searches like "are raspberries high oxalate" and "do raspberries cause itching or reflux" keep coming up. The upside is that in a small serving they stay lower in FODMAPs than most berries, so a spoonful is often tolerated even when a full bowl is not.

Watch for

  • Very high in oxalates, the standout trigger here, a concern if you are prone to kidney stones or follow a low-oxalate diet
  • High in salicylates, so raspberries can drive itching, hives or reflux in people who react to aspirin-type foods
  • Moderate FODMAP: small servings are usually fine but a large bowl brings enough polyols to unsettle a sensitive gut
  • Mildly higher in histamine and tyramine than most fresh fruit, worth noting if amines are your issue
